Who knew that clicking on a "pending payment" email could lead to a wild goose chase of cyber calamity?! The notorious hacker group, TA544, has taken a break from bamboo munching to send out phishing emails pretending to be delivery services. It's like a Russian nesting doll of cyber threats! The email contains a .PDF, which downloads a JavaScript file, which then runs the WailingCrab loader from Discord. This malware is like a Swiss army knife, featuring a loader, injector, downloader, and backdoor. I mean, talk about an overachiever! Honestly, it's like watching a horror movie, where the monster just won't die!
